Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween, like always!  We invited some people over to eat dinner with us and decorate sugar cookies.

We went to Powhatan to see Clark perform.  Wow, they did a great job!!!  I also helped with food for the lunch afterwards.  We stopped for ice cream bars on the way home.  What a gorgeous WARM fall day.

We loved going up to Maryland to celebrate Luke's birthday!!!

The day we've been waiting for......Clark can drive! WOO HOO!!  Bad picture through a screen window, but he drove to seminary with Cal!  It's been great!  Is it bad that I am not worried when he's off driving? He drives to seminary most of the time but since it's so early in the morning Lee has driven a couple of times when Clark doesn't get enough sleep.


He will drive the car to seminary (seminary is 15 minutes away), then the truck to school.  School is only about 4 minutes away. That way I can have the car during the day as I run all over the place.

This is by a golf course in Harrisonburg.  I thought it was so funny.  Had to get a picture.

Pumpkin carving time! I invited Angie and Rachel over as well. 

Cal didn't realize that his pumpkin up top was the perfect facial expression for Haley's pumpkin on the bottom.  Too funny.

Shanna got in on the gross action as well.  I don't think the girls enjoyed cleaning it up a few days late.  Oh well!

Cal is now cleaning Lee's office.  So cute what he did on the velvety chairs!

There is a fun cookbook, Cook Once, Eat All Week that I wanted to try some recipes from.  This one was smashed cauliflower, with sour cream and spices, then cheese and bacon on top.  I thought it would be great, but....it was a flop.

Halloween came and there was some nasty weather forecasted so our town moved trick-or-treating to Friday.  A lot of towns in the area did that.  We still had friends over Thursday night for Halloween.  They watched Race to Witch Mountain.  We had dinner as well and some goodies!

Friday night was trick-or-treat time!  Our friends the Petersons came over again and we trick-or-treated downtown.  Sadly Lee was already scheduled to be in South Carolina for continuing education.  So Clark handed out candy at his office. We did full size candy bars this year.  About 550?  I bought over 700 but we handed some out at the office and I gave some out to the kids and friends on Halloween.  Clark ran out in an hour.

Fun times trick-or-treating!

Three places gave out ice cream for free!!!  So yummy!

The marshmello guy was jamming to music.  It was fun.

Clark did a great job handing out candy. Future eye doctor?

I love seeing at the people out.  It was a bit chilly, but a fun evening!

More ice cream.

We even got to see a train.  Which happens a lot here actually.

We ended the night at the Garden Spot roasting marshmallows.  Love this part!

We headed over to Dairy Queen for candy, and they got ice cream!

That night we took off for Indiana! I had a good drive.  Happy Halloween!  A fun night of the year!
